A past Midnight Madness Parade in the Village of Brockport photo by Caurie Putnam

One of the many reasons I love raising my boys in Brockport happens again tomorrow night – the annual Midnight Madness Parade! The parade gives kiddos the opportunity to trick-or-treat at participating Village of Brockport merchants. This year’s parade is Friday, October 29th. Lineup is at 6:15 p.m. at Lift Bridge Book Shop – 45 Main Street.

After the parade, families are invited to attend a Spooktacular Party from 7:00 – 8:00 p.m. at the Brockport Fire House on Market Street. The party will have a haunted house, refreshments, and games. It is sponsored by The Brockport Merchants Association, The Village of Brockport, The Brockport Fire Department, The PE Majors Club at SUNY Brockport, Delta Sigma Sorority and Delta Phi Epsilon Fraternity.

After the family fun, I like to take my sugar-stuppored children home and leave them with their father while I head back into the village to shop! Many village merchants stay open until midnight and have great sales. It is a fun night to get some Holiday Shopping done.

This year there will also be a Midnight Madness Contest (scavenger hunt) If you want to play you must pick up a map and visit each store on it. Once you visit all the sores on the map and get a stamp from each one bring your completed map to Game Players on 45 Main St., by 4:00 pm (Saturday, October 30th) Prizes are gift certificates to local merchants.

You may pick up your map for the Midnight Madness Contest on Friday, October 29th or Saturday, October 30th from the following Brockport businesses:

Caurie Putnam I'm proud to have called Brockport my home for the past 15 years. I love it because it has a small town feel, but the presence of SUNY Brockport adds a small city flavor. I moved to Brockport after graduating from the University of Rochester to cover the community as a reporter for Messenger Post Newspapers. I grew up in Connecticut and Washington County, NY but fell in love with Brockport and decided to raise my family here. I am a single mom to two busy little boys who take after their busy Mommy! I am also a freelance writer for The Democrat and Chronicle and several other publications in western New York. My Brockport activities include: The Brockport Moms Club, Brockport PTSA, JJ's Angels, The Brockport Blizzards, and Tri-County Youth Hockey. As the Brockport Blogger, my goal is to bring you positive, family centered, community news and photos. Brockport is the hidden gem of Monroe County and I love to shine it up.
